echoing what everyone's said, I'm happy with the result. I'm also happy with the performance, which is not necessarily the same thing. You can get a good result and be rubbish, but this was a good result with an energized, urgent display on the part of the boys. It was a deserved win, though Krul was at fault for the goal. I'll add that I think we'll see Stockdale in goal from here on out. Steck's been inconsistant at best the last couple of months. Yes, he's as quick as a cat, but he's also been at fault a few times which killed our changes to get some points. So I'm glad to see the change in goal.
I've seen MOTD and the Official Fulham site and neither have shown the first disallowed goal in the 2nd half when Sidwell got on the end of a cross and headed back in to the area and we scored only for it to be ruled offside? I wanted to see it again cause I don't know why, but neither showed it. So anyone see the full game on Sky and can enlighten me.
Super McBride they showed it on Sky football first it was a good header back from Sidwell and a really good volley of a finish from Kasami but replays did show Sidwell had drifted half a yard off. Very tight though tighter than you may have thought at the game Lino could easily have kept his flag down
Been reflecting a bit more on the game and in particular Felix's comment about Stockdale being "a talker". In fact, I felt that all the players were communicating with each other so much better than in previous matches. One I'd pick out is Kvist. I said earlier that he had some dodgy moments but thought he was excellent at organising the defence and issuing instructions. Pretty much took over Brede's captain role. The other good sign was the team spirit. Naturally they celebrated the goal and daft though it might be to get a yellow for taking his shirt off, you could understand Dejagah's reaction. However, what was really telling for me was that it was the whole squad, subs and all, who joined in. please log in to view this image Link to pic: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BiyHbeBIQAAAoSw.jpg
What I noticed, after the goal, was that Sidwell turned to face Stockdale made a fist and shook it at him, in a good way, of course - bearing in mind this was about 30 seconds after he had made a crucial save I thought it said a lot about team spirit and how they were playing for one another.
Fulhaman I saw this moment between Sidwell and Stockdale. Think shows a lot. The players showed energy and commitment. We had a good midfield strategy. Sidders playing box to box but Kvist staying to cover the holes... He did make a cpl of mistakes which didn't cost us. One could have! City here we come..,
